Regardless of the type of oven (or cooker) involved, the basic principles are the same.All ovens will use elements to provide the necessary heat. An element is a thin gauge of wire in a spherical shape, or a thicker piece of wire which is then covered by a coating of powder, finished off by a metal outer.
Depending on the model type, an oven is basically made up by:
- Lower base element
- Fan element
- Side elements
- Grill element
Most of these elements are reliable but occasionally you may find that you have a ‘hot spot’ where the insulation is a bit thin or perhaps the inner wire could be too close to the outer sleeve. If this fault is present, you will notice it more or less straightaway and you should contact your manufacturer for a replacement.
You will be pleased to know that if you have a problem with an element and you are out of your Warranty period, as long as you know the make and model of your appliance, you should have no problem sourcing a replacement. Read More Here…
